DL Controller

Introduction

The DL controller uses the “Communications and CDC Control” USB-IF class. The driver for this USB class is included in windows but a custom file .inf is needed for windows 7 and 8. In Windows 10, a new INF, Usbser.inf, has been added that loads

Usbser.sys automatically as the function driver.

We do not manage the automatic installation of the .inf file on your PC, but the files exist on CD, in the folder: DL Controller\USB driver

Please follow this note to install your USB driver.
